Well, we found it and luckily during the middle of the week it had it's best room (the suite, actually) available. We took the Captain's Quarters and marveled at the old place. There is a small house that serves as an office for the ranch hotel as well as 2 small dining rooms where the small amount of guests that can stay there eat at every morning. A DELICIOUS, fresh breakfast. It did NOT disappoint - especially the bisquits!
Our room was on the 2nd floor of the Carriage house - literally. An old carriage house, you could see where they would drive in the horse and buggy and leave it parked there in the middle of the building (there is a big open space for it - see video). Animals run around, sheep, horses, a llama, for example. It is old, musty, completely decorated in antiques. You can walk down to the beach or up into the foresty hillsides. Sally, the owner, would leave random hidden guest books or books open to write poetry or thoughts down. One was even wrapped in plastic in a hollowed tree at the end of the lovely Magic trail. It was so relaxing and beautiful! I am so pleased we stayed there! At night we took our firewood and went to the beach where we made a fire into the wee hours of the night - we had done this once before in 2006 in the Big Sur (see blog). Patrick took long-exposure photography of the waves crashing and the moon was out. It was priceless and such a joy--
